If it's just a decline in the sales of a comic, it can be said that for some reason, readers have become resistant to the comic, which in turn makes the sales of the comic go down.

But the sales of several comics have collectively declined, and I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"What is the decline of other manga?" Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin and asked in a deep voice.

"Speaking of which, it's also ironic that "The King of Rock and Roll" dropped from a high of 300,000 copies last week to 140,000 copies in a single week, a drop of more than 50%, which sounds scary, but the single books of other comics have dropped even more, most of them are above 60%."

Definitely there is a problem!

This thought flashed in Wang Wenhong's mind.

"May is the most important month for "Comic Future", the first edition of the second volume of "Ding Shi" was originally 300,000 copies, considering the impact of this incident, the sales department lowered it to 220,000 copies, and the first edition of "12 Years Old Again" was also reduced by 60,000 copies."

"I really don't know why?"

It's impossible for a magazine not to investigate such a big thing, right?

"The data of the sales department has just been counted, and I haven't had time to investigate it yet." Shang Haozhi crossed his fingers and his eyes were sharp.

"What are you telling me for?"

Wang Wenhong didn't understand Shang Haozhi's intentions.

He is only a responsible editor, and in this case, he can play very little role.

"The first edition of "Steel Forged" was 2.3 million copies, and there was no reduction...... Whether it is the senior management, the sales department, or myself, I don't want the number of copies of the first edition of "Steel Refining" to be reduced, and the magazine needs a masterpiece. "King of Rock and Roll" has collapsed, and "Steel" can't afford to lose anymore. ”

"What can Mr. Shen do......

"Momentum...... If possible, I hope that Mr. Shen can conduct a book signing sale on May 22 and ...... at Jiman Bookstore."

"Impossible!" Wang Wenhong patted the table and glared at Shang Haozhi, "If it was another time, I believe that Teacher Shen would be absolutely fine, but in the last month or two, no!" ”

"When Mr. Shen came to Comic Future, he had never signed or sold books." Shang Haozhi said patiently.

"I know, but ...... Mr. Shang, you have also read the name of the next few episodes of "Steel Forge", and the content of each episode is more than 30 pages. Mr. Shen has to draw more than 120 pages of original manuscripts a month, design posters and color pages, and then take a day to participate in book signing and sales...... I admit that Mr. Shen is very powerful, but he is also a human ......."

"This is really unfair to Mr. Shen, but, just this time, you don't want the sales of the single book of "Steel Forge" to plummet, right? Whether it is for Mr. Shen or for "Steel Refining", it needs to build momentum. ”

"Closed." Wang Wenhong interjected.

"What?"

"It's okay to ask Mr. Shen to sign and sell books, but I have to take a week off to let Mr. Shen recover some strength. I remember that Mr. Shen has not stopped publishing for a year and a half. ”

"It's not your turn to decide! You go and tell Mr. Shen about this matter, and see Mr. Shen's choice. Shang Haozhi waved.

If Steel Forge is closed, the magazine's sales will definitely drop significantly.

Wang Wenhong frowned.

How else can Mr. Shen decide? He probably accepted it without hesitation, after all, it is also the responsibility of cartoonists to promote their works.

If it were usual, Wang Wenhong would definitely not object, but this time the time was too unfortunate, "Steel Forged" just encountered a large wave of climax, Shen Xin not only had to draw more than 30 pages of original manuscripts every week, but also, in order to show the rendering power of the picture, the delicacy of the picture should also be improved.

In this case, it is not only his energy that tests Shen Xin, but also his physical strength.

Seeing Wang Wenhong's solemn expression, Shang Haozhi sighed, "Don't worry, I'll discuss with Jiman Bookstore, I will only let Mr. Shen sign for 5 hours, and sign a maximum of 800 copies, no matter if the time is exceeded, or the number of single books is reached, this activity will be terminated." ”

"That'...... I'll ask Mr. Shen for his opinion, and I'll give you an answer when the time comes. Wang Wenhong didn't say anything to death.

"Well, let's go......" Shang Haozhi bowed slightly, saw Wang Wenhong stand up, walked to the door, and suddenly stopped him.

Wang Wenhong turned his head suspiciously and looked at Shang Haozhi.

"Call Yan Fei in."

"Yes."

Wang Wenhong came out of the conference room and walked to Yan Fei's table.

"What did the editor-in-chief call you for?"

"Little things...... The editor-in-chief tells you to come in. ”

"Huh?"

Yan Fei was a little surprised, could it be Zuo Yuan's matter?

She stood up and entered the conference room.

"Editor-in-chief, you called me?"

"That's right...... Recently, "The Journey of Two People" has had a good evaluation on the Internet, but it is different from "Steel Refining", except for animation, there are no superfluous derivatives, and the magazine feels that if "The Journey of Two People" can be launched, it should have good sales. You go and ask Mr. Su and Mr. Xi, if they are okay, see if they can provide a version of the manuscript. ”

"Do you need to serialize it in "Qichuang Library"?"

"No, just publish it, let the two teachers prepare the manuscript of the first volume first, and then hand it over to the "Library" for proofreading." Shang Haozhi said.

"Got it."

Yan Fei nodded.

Su Han and Xi Muhan are both people who eat by typing, and when they sort out the first volume, the problem should not be too big.

After Yan Fei left, Shang Haozhi leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his forehead, and his current situation suddenly became confusing.

How can the sales of single books decline sharply? Is this the case for only Comic Future, or is it the same for other magazines?

You have to find out the cause quickly.

……

"Probably this is the case...... Wang Wenhong relayed the conversation between him and Shang Haozhi to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin rubbed his eyes with both hands and did not speak.

"What about me? Didn't you also directly refute Mr. Shang's words. "Yan Fei didn't have a good airway.

"I have a few months left before the contract expires, what am I afraid of?" Wang Wenhong stretched his waist.

"Not ready to renew?"

"Who knows...... I don't know what to do now? It's a pity that the money saved is too small, otherwise it would be good to buy a piece of land and grow it. Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

Shen Xin didn't believe Wang Wenhong's words at all, if he could be idle, there would be a ghost.

"So, Mr. Shen, do you agree?" Wang Wenhong's eyes fell on Shen Xin, "My suggestion, refuse to forget it, anyway, the magazine doesn't dare to do anything to you, this month's workload is really too big, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." ”

Shen Xin waved his hand, "It's not too much of a problem, on the day of signing and selling books, I can draw the line draft in advance, and hand over the rest to Gao Hang, and the work will not be affected too much...... A month, more than 30 pages per sentence, should be able to get busy. What I'm worried about now is the decline in sales of "King of Rock and Roll." ”

Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong's eyes instantly sharpened, and Xi Muhan, who was sitting on the side, also looked at Shen Xin with a nervous expression.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
